Curly tails, snouts, trotters, 'oinks', mud and unpleasant smells - these are the cliches of the pig. With their varied roles as sources of food, as pets and in medical testing, pigs have been materially and culturally associated with humans for thousands of years. Today there are more than one billion pigs on the planet, and there are countless representations of pigs and 'piggishness' circulating through the cultures of the world. Pig provides a richly illustrated, compelling look at the long, complicated relationship between humans and these highly intelligent, sociable animals. In his insightful book, Brett Mizelle traces the natural and cultural history of the pig, focusing on the contradictions between our imaginative representation of pigs and the ways in which pigs are actually used as meat, experimental material and the source of hundreds of consumer products. Pig begins with the evolution of the suidae, animals that were domesticated in many regions 9,000 years ago, and points toward a future where pigs and humans are even more closely intertwined thanks to breakthroughs in biomedical research. Pig also examines the widespread art, entertainment and literature that has imagined human kinship with pigs, and the development of modern industrial pork production, which has removed living pigs from our everyday lives. In charting how humans have shaped the pig and how the pig has shaped us, Mizelle focuses on the unresolved contradictions between our imaginary and lived relations with pigs. Pig will appeal to those with a love for all things pig and for animals in general.

Richard J Deboo
R361 Discovery Miles 3 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Who Speaks for Earthlings?" is a collection of Richard J Deboo's articles, poems and speeches primarily, but not exclusively, on the subject of animal rights. Always full of passion and utterly committed to justice, compassion and love for all lives the writings collected here will inspire and inform; by turns playful, resolute, determined and angry, Richard's words shine a bright, blazing candle on the lies and hypocrisy at the heart of the animal abuse industries of animal farming, research and the exploitation of animals in sport and entertainment. As a species we commit many cruel and unimaginably violent and brutal acts against our fellow Earthlings, but these writings show that we can do things another way - we can think and live differently. In so doing we can change the world, not only for ourselves but for all those who share this Earth with us.

Narratology beyond the Human - Storytelling and Animal Life (Hardcover): David Herman Narratology beyond the Human - Storytelling and Animal Life (Hardcover)
David Herman
R3,665 Discovery Miles 36 650 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

To what extent, and in what manner, do storytelling practices accomodate nonhuman subjects and their modalities of experience, and how can contemporary narrative study shed light on interspecies interactions and entanglements? In Narratology beyond the Human, David Herman addresses these questions through a cross-disciplinary approach to post-Darwinian narratives concerned with animals and human-animal relationships. Herman considers the enabling and constraining effects of different narrative media, examining a range of fictional and nonfictional texts disseminated in print, comics and graphic novels, and film. In focusing on techniques such as the use of animal narrators, alternation between human and nonhuman perspectives, the embedding of stories within stories, and others, the book explores how specific strategies for portraying nonhuman agents both emerge from and contributes to broader attitudes toward animal life. Herman argues that existing frameworks for narrative inquiry must be modified to take into account how stories are interwoven with cultural ontologies, or understandings of what sorts of beings populate the world and how they relate to humans. Showing how questions of narrative bear on ideas of species difference and assumptions about animal minds, Narratology beyond the Human underscores our inextricable interconnectedness with other forms of creatural life and suggests that stories can be used to resituate imaginaries of human action in a more-than-human world.
